I Can Hear the Heart's Voice of Traditional Chinese Medicine-Chapter 313 - 138: Illness Begins in the Lungs, Lingers in the Kidneys

If a real poisoning reaction occurs, you don’t need to panic. You can take a large amount of honey internally, or decoct 60g of raw licorice, 30g each of Fangfeng and black beans, with 150ml of water and 150ml of honey, and take the medicinal liquid in divided doses with 30g of mung bean powder. Generally, mild to moderate toxic reactions can be resolved with the above method.

However, if it is a severe toxic reaction, immediate hospitalization is required and must not be taken lightly. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

When the patient Zhang Song came for diagnosis earlier, Lu Xuan saw that the situation was critical. Coupled with the fact that he had just arrived at the Health Center and had recently acquired the miraculous ability of Heart’s Voice, he acted rashly.

Thinking back now, he felt somewhat thankful.

Thankful that the medication prescribed by Heart’s Voice was effective; otherwise, if something had happened to Zhang Song, even if it wasn’t because of the medication he prescribed, once Zhang Song’s family acted unreasonably and ignored any disclaimers, insisting on making a fuss, it would definitely become a medical accident.

If it really came to the point of legal proceedings, the law wouldn’t consider that Zhang Song was already critically ill with little time left; it would only see that Zhang Song was fine when he came for treatment but died after taking his medication. By then, he would have no way to justify himself.

Moreover, it wasn’t just Lu Xuan; the entire Health Center would be implicated.

Once things escalated, others wouldn’t care about the details; they would only see that Lu Xuan had caused someone’s death, and nothing else would be within their concern.

At that time, even if Lu Xuan wasn’t held legally accountable, his reputation would be thoroughly ruined.

Reputation is something difficult to maintain, but extremely easy to destroy, just one medical accident is enough.

By that time, there would probably be very few people willing to seek his treatment.

Moreover, he might even lose his qualification to practice medicine.

So now, since he had to prescribe Aconite for the patient, Lu Xuan had to be extremely cautious.

It’s not wrong to want to save someone, but the premise of saving others is to protect oneself.

Lu Xuan reconsidered the dosage of Aconite. Although it wasn’t much, at least it was significantly less than what was used for Zhang Song, but it still exceeded the pharmacopoeial dosage.

With this in mind, Lu Xuan looked up at Old Zhou and Guo Huaishu, and said solemnly, "Uncle Zhou’s condition is quite severe. If he had initially found a doctor skilled in treating this ailment, he might have been cured long ago. But now, it’s been over thirty years..."

"Dr. Lu, can it be treated?" Before Lu Xuan could finish, Guo Huaishu quickly asked.

Old Zhou shook his head at Guo Huaishu: "Old Guo, don’t worry, it’s been over thirty years, and I’m already used to it. Actually, I can feel that my body probably won’t hold out much longer, at most three to five years, or maybe just one or two years before I’m gone."

"Old Guo, you’re not allowed to say such discouraging things. Dr. Lu hasn’t finished speaking yet, so there’s still a chance." Guo Huaishu quickly interrupted Old Zhou, but his expression didn’t look very good.

Anyone could tell that Old Zhou’s condition was quite serious.

Guo Huaishu wasn’t an idiot; how could he not know?

Seeing that both of them had poor expressions, Lu Xuan hurriedly interrupted them, "Can you wait for me to finish? I haven’t said it can’t be treated, have I?"

Guo Huaishu and Old Zhou were both taken aback, can it be treated?

Just as they were puzzled, they heard Lu Xuan say, "Old Zhou’s condition initially affected his lungs, and over time it has affected his kidneys. Since it has already damaged his kidneys, we might need to use the herb Aconite. Aconite itself is toxic, but as long as the dosage isn’t large, it will be fine. Old Zhou’s medication has to be decocted here, and Uncle Guo, you need to come back in the afternoon to pick it up."

Upon hearing that Old Zhou’s illness could be treated, Guo Huaishu breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as it can be treated, coming back in the afternoon to pick up the medication is no trouble at all; I’ll make another trip then."

Guo Huaishu agreed, and Lu Xuan didn’t say much more. He wrote down the prescription and handed it to Su Kenan for registration, then looked at Ji Xiuwen and said, "You take the medication to Uncle Wang’s place to decoct it, supervise the whole process, and bring it back once it’s packaged after decoction."

Ji Xiuwen also knew that Aconite was highly toxic, so he nodded in agreement.

However, when he received the fee slip, he also took a deep breath at Lu Xuan’s boldness.

Such a dosage, probably only someone like Lu Xuan would dare to prescribe it.

This has already exceeded the pharmacopoeial dosage, and if something really happened to the patient, Lu Xuan would probably have to bear significant consequences.

But he also knew Lu Xuan’s character, and it wouldn’t be the Lu Xuan he knew if he didn’t try to save a life.

In such a situation, if it were him, he would probably make the same choice.

Because!

He is a doctor who stays true to his original aspiration to save lives!
